I fully expect Washington to score 2 goals and miss an open net at some point.

Or just give up 3 more goals.

The only reason Hornqvist got a call is because he had a literal hole in his chin. The refs are sitting on their hands apart from that.

Can we get an updated version of that postseason playoff disparity graph with Washington as far to the negative side as you can get?

if Pittsburgh pulls this out the ideal scenario moving forward is "anyone but them" winning the Cup, in my opinion. Let's see someone new.

Brooks Orpik was found dead of an apparent suicide in the visiting team locker room of Console Energy Center. He was 35.

But the last team to win the cup before them still in the playoffs is the Lightning. Basically go West coast

That's the garbage-era reffing mantra. Don't call anything until there's a mandatory call (high stick, delay, too much man, etc). Then call whatever you can on the other team to even up the calls. Because otherwise, you're letting refs determine the outcome.

Player of the series, possibly, because somehow all those lovely depth defensemen the Caps rotated in his place were just as bad or worse and cost them games.

true, but that was over a decade ago, before the drat lockout even, so I'd be ok with them winning.

getting two generational talents and a bevy of supporting forwards that range from "good" to "elite" plus a Norris caliber defenseman isn't really a replicatable model though

Their generational talents haven't been great this series but it sure helps. They just have ridiculous forward depth while the Caps are relying on Tom Wilson, Daniel Winnik, and the corpses of Mike Richards and Jason Chimera.

I think it's a bit disingenuous to blame Washington's depth since it's still much better than a lot of teams. Pittsburgh is just playing better, full stop. We'll see if the Caps can make this interesting.

That Oshie goal helps.
